Engineered Wooden Flooring

Engineered wood flooring is an expensive but extremely durable choice because its usual thickness of three-quarters of an inch allows for multiple refinishing. The best engineered wood floors are built having 14mm multi-ply layers that are cross layered, glued and pressed together. The inner core layers are generally built up with either a hardwood and/or soft plywood type of material, which incorporates the tongue and groove system. There is end layer of rubber sheet for the reduction of noise.
